While development has slowed due to the financial environment, some development, mainly large development, has moved on. Many of these large projects share a common trait – ties to the city and state government. What plans does NYC have for future development in the city and how will that effect job growth? What will it take to get future development started sooner? What is planned for large scale projects like Atlantic Yards? What impact is technological development and the sustainability movement having on these projects?
Join Bisnow and the leaders of New York City's development and urban planning community on February 24th at the NY Bar Association to gain invaluable information, insight, and (of course) schmooze time.
